The comedic rule of three is in everything. It goes waaaaaaaaaaaay back to the Greeks and it's still something I have trouble wrapping my head around too. Shakespeare uses it a lot in his writings and it's a rule in Shakespeare performance that lists like that have to build or you lose the impact of the line whether it's tragedy or comedic.

I'm an actor. I've auditioned my rear end off for work on film, TV, and the stage, done performances in front of 800+ people, and am always the one Asian guy in whatever you see. Stand up comedy is another planet with its own law of physics in my book. So much of what you do as an actor is focused on your partner, your environment, and what's going on around you. A stand up comedian has himself, his material, and the audience. Working purely off the energy a room full of strangers is something to be admired.
